You're welcome. And thanks Russell."As reported by Fox News, several days later, Crowe, who has starred in other Oscar-winning films such as 'Gladiator,' 'A Beautiful Mind' and 'The Insider,' responded to the remark by defending the movie and highlighting the people behind it.The star began his clap-back, "That's the problem with kids these days.

Incredible cinematography by Russell Boyd & a majestic soundtrack. Definitely an adults movie."Crowe highlighted the film's co-writer and director, Peter Weir, whose nomination for best director made up one of the 10 Academy Awards the film was nominated for. Boyd, meanwhile, took home one of the two awards the movie actually won, for best cinematography.
